Down the years I have acknowledged our Clare’s planning fetish. I share it, to some extent, but I tend to stick to one medium (a diary) whereas C.’s various lists, diagrams, files and so on spread and multiply. This board has just appeared in her half of the attic/office. This is planning as board game, as one of those models football managers or Napoleon would use to organise their troop movements. And it didn’t even appear until May — though I am guessing we will be seeing more of this even after 2025 has played out.
